How to fix disk size for embedded SIL31512A SATA Raid controller

What we have:
Old Shuttle ST61G motherboard with embedded SATARaid controller Sil 3512
When big SATA disks connected to SATA - BIOS hangs.
Shuttle provides no motherboard updates - ST61G discontinued.
So what we do?
We integrate updated BIOS for SIL3512A into system BIOS using CBROM tool.
Like this:
CBROM217.exe ft61s02d.bin /pci 4384.BIN
where ft61s02d.bin - system BIOS
4384.BIN - SATA BIOS
and then we flash updated ft61s02d.bin file to system BIOS.
